Combine all in a bowl and mix well. Place in a jelly jar. It will be just a little bit too big for a 1/2 pint jar. This makes a wonderful inexpensive gift too - teachers, babysitters, really anyone.

I like to use organic sugar in my recipe, but use what you have. I was all out when I took the above picture. The type of coconut oil you use definitely makes a difference. I stay away from the cheaper ones that are refined. If they don’t smell like coconut when you open them up, then I always think not for me. When I use it on my face, I always end up tasting a little…so yummy! You can feel good about using it because there are no harmful chemicals inside.

Some people like to add a teaspoon or two of shredded coconut to their recipe. It makes for extra exfoliating, if you would like to do that. I just feel funny about running the shreds down the drain, so I don’t.

Enjoy!!

Important Note *Lime and other citrus oils can make your skin sun sensitive so don’t use the scrub if you plan on being in the sun soon afterwards.
